If you still want a scary story, back in the late 90s, a village some 30 km from Adilabad (District HQ) where my father was posted as Dy. Civil Surgeon reported through its panchayat that it was experiencing unexplained things, with most of the villagers reporting "flying sensation" or weightlessness in the night, and they'd wake up in the morning exhausted and unable to go to their fields. This pertified that village and also smaller hamlets surrounding it (north-west Adilabad is a very hilly place and usually settlements are along a single road, like a string of pearls). Villages on the other side of this one were scared to cross this village to get to Adilabad town (with the superstition that "ghosts would possess them along the way"), while villages before this one (towards Adilabad town), prevented anyone from coming from there, thinking that they would carry evil spirits with them into their village. That created a crisis of shortage of food and medicine, and transport (APSRTC rural buses were stopped by the villages) there were some clashes between villages. And so the district collector dispatched a convoy of a sub-inspector, some armed constables, and three doctors including a lady (gynecologist) to counsel the women, and two male doctors including dad, to go spend two days and one night there. The convoy was trailed by a truck carrying essential commodities.
The first day (day time) was pretty much spent by these people in talking to the village elders, women, where dad's convoy pretty much ridiculed them, took things very lightly, joked, and thanked the collector for this all-expense-paid picnic. That night around midnight they woke up to "moaning", a couple of dozens of people were moaning loudly, as if in a funeral procession. Some people appeared to be in a trance violently shaking their heads, etc. Some old men just stood up looking at the sky and trembled. The constables tried to hit some people with lathis to try and "wake them" up, but they just fell down and continued moaning. gradually that "moaning" died down in an hour's time. Some of the villagers were fully conscious, grouped up, and locked themselves up in their houses.
That freaked out of the government people. They were totally clueless as to what to do. The next day time was spent in more talking to the villagers, and these government doctors were investigating things as if it's some "CSI: Adilabad" story going on. Police ensured safe passage of trucks, bus service also resumed, but almost nobody boarded the buses past this haunted village, so the bus went almost empty from this village to its feeding villages, and also came back that way. It was found out that the villagers were eating locally grown vegetables (duh..every village with agriculture does that), and since the villagers were not fully versed with specific fungicides and were instead using common pesticides on their veggie plantations, there was a mushroom infestation. The villagers would simply pluck or snap these mushrooms, contaminating the vegetables.
Now wild mushrooms tend to produce a cocktail of neurotic chemicals that can cause dementia, hallucinations, and delirium, even for a short period of time. In some countries, carefully "engineered" mushrooms form part of the narcotic substance trade, people eat such mushrooms to get high. So 'fresh' vegetables were brought in from elsewhere, and the fields were treated with proper fungicides. The next week or so was spent by the district edition newspapers, to tell the villagers about what exactly happened, and there was nothing paranormal.
